2006’s Oblivion brought the previously niche Elder Scrolls franchise into the mainstream. Though it is a great RPG game, Bethesda made some bad design choices and it is rather an old game for 2018. These mods should fix a lot of stuff without causing any crashes and FPS problems and are not gamechanging mods. Also, all of them are easy, so you do not need any prior modding experience.
An epic and huge fantasy world filled with quirky characters, interesting questlines, and a ton of variety in how you wish to play. Although the main story wasn’t all it could’ve been and has since been largely panned, the rest of the game’s content is superb, and the huge variety of mods only make it deeper, richer, and more replayable.
Here we will run down 18 of the best mods you can find for Elder Scrolls Oblivion, to make it an even more amazing game even 12 years later.

18 Must-Have Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion Mods
1. Unofficial Oblivion Patch
This unofficial patch is essential for getting into Oblivion Nexus on PC. This huge game-wide patch fixes 1,800 bugs and glitches, from the minor animation glitches to the floating rocks, holes in the floor, and see-through wall. There are also a couple of other patches for the DLC and expansions, too. You’ll be sure to want those if you’re planning on heading to the Shivering Isles.

2. Character Overhaul (Version 2)
There’s no denying it, 12 years later Oblivion is a pretty ugly game. Some of its art may hold up well, but graphically it’s very dated. The faces in Oblivion may be the most obvious part of this problem. This mod aims to alleviate that. This is the only character overhaul mod you’ll need to have the faces and characters of Oblivion looking as good as they can. Essential for the best-looking Oblivion experience. This is one of the best oblivion graphics mod.

3. Oblivion Graphics Extender
Another mod you’ll want if you’re looking for the prettiest Oblivion Nexus mods can make. The graphics extender mod does a great job of effectively overhauling the visual element of the game, at least from a technical standpoint. Improved textures, better lighting and shadows, character models, and more. A must for any Oblivion fan looking for a fresh look.

4. Oblivion Mod Manager
You may wish to use Nexus Mod Manager to manage your mods, but if you don’t, then this handy little dedicated manager for Oblivion mods may be just the thing for you. There are somany mods for Oblivion at this point, and if you’re a dedicated modder then you may wish to run Oblivion with potentially 100’s of mods. If you know you’ll be using a ton of different mods, then this mod manager could be very useful to you.
Download here.
5. Script Extender – OBSE
Like with Bethesda’s other games, there are quite a few restraints on what you can do with the base game script. Many of the mods you’ll be installing, and many of the mods from this list, will require this script extender to work. In layman’s terms, it lets you install more mods and increases the capabilities of the mods you can install. If you’re looking to install any mods that are ambitious in size and scope, you’ll want to install this.

6. Stutter Remover
If you find yourself experiencing some performance issues, namely stutters and an uneven frame rate, see if this mod will fix your problems. Bethesda’s games may be wonderfully open and endlessly engaging, but they’ve never been short on technical issues. Oblivion is certainly no exception, and you may find it struggling even on the beefiest of PCs. It’s not your fault, it’s just the game. This mod should fix your problems.
Download here.
7. Oscuro’s Oblivion Overhaul
In Oblivion, the world around your levels at the same rate as you do, to keep things balanced. This overhaul mod changes that, making different areas have different level caps for enemies, and making the wilderness of Oblivion more dangerous and unpredictable. It also tweaks a number of other things, like making magic easier to cast, and making the AI for animals smarter and more reactive.
Download here.
8. Oblivion XP
If you’re not a fan of Oblivion’s unique levelling system, wherein you level in things by simply doing them over and over, this overhaul changes the XP system to more akin to something like World of Warcraft or classic RPGs like Baldur’s Gate, where you earn XP from killing enemies and completing quests. It changes the balance of the game, for sure, but it’s an interesting overhaul that may be appealing if you’re not a huge fan of the default levelling system.
Download here.
9. Enhanced Camera
The Enhanced Camera mod overhauls the first-person camera mode, making it so you can actually look down at your own body (!!) and making scenes that would normally put you in third-person (like death, or execution animations) stay in first-person. A cool little mod that makes Oblivion more immersive, and makes playing in first-person more permanent.
Download here.
10. Sound Sets
If you ever get bored of silent, unvoiced protagonist, this mod might be for you. It gives your character dozens of new combat shouts, battle cries, and more. No longer will your character be a silent monk obeying orders and never uttering a word. There are a nice variety of lines and voices here, suitable for different races and genders. Good stuff!
Download here.
11. Level Uncapper
A simple mod that uncaps the maximum level that Oblivion lets you to certain skills and attributes to. By default, you can only reach level 100 in every skill. This mod changes that cap to 200 in the fields of weapon damage, hand-to-hand combat, and magicka cost, including Blade, Blunt, Hand to Hand, Athletics, Acrobatics, Marksman Illusion, Conjuration,Mysticism, Alteration, Destruction, and Restoration. Get more bang from your many different bucks!

12. Weapon Expansion Pack
This huge weapon mod adds a whopping 625+ new weapons to the world of Oblivion, including new Amber, Madness, Mithril, Orcish, Fine Iron, and Rusty Iron weapons. It also includes a complete set of Orchish weapons, Mithril weapons (which are upgraded Silver weapons), and more. It also addresses more than 100 errors in weapons’ stats or level lists that the Unofficial Patch didn’t catch.

13. Maskbar’s Oblivion Overhaul
Another overhaul mod that greatly changes many aspects of Oblivion. This mod adds unpredictable encounters, improved loot and equipment drops, the ability to feign death, introduces traps and the ability to disarm them, resource gathering, treasure hunts, and more. There’s a ton to explore with this mod, and it’s sure to offer a whole host of new content to explore.
Download here.
14. Lights of Oblivion – Road Lanterns
A neat little mod that adds roadside lanterns on many of the main roads of Oblivion. There are many lanterns added to paths leading to inns, towns, cities, and more. A cool mod for players looking for a more charming, immersive, and cosy experience. You also get the option to choose between five different lights.
Download here.
15. Martigen’s Monster Mod
This claims to make it so that “no two creatures are ever the same”. What this means is that all NPCs and creatures have their stats and characteristics randomized. Everything from size to combat stats, confidence, combat fighting styles, range customization, and more are randomly selected between a set range. It also adds a large number of new creatures, monsters, and enemies. Your fights will never get stale again with this mod!
Download here.
16. Darnified UI
A very handy UI overhaul mod that makes the UI less squashed and zoomed-in and more user friendly. It makes the font smaller, allowing more to be fit on the screen, and, as you can see in the image above, it redesigns the layout and structure of the UI. It may look intimidating, but it makes for a much more user friendly experience once you get used to it. It also adjusts the font and size of the subtitles.
Download here.
17. Deadly Reflex
Deadly Reflex is a mod that aims to add some much-needed depth and strategic layering to the combat of Oblivion. No longer will you simply be swinging and slashing in the general direction of your enemies. It adds a number of new moves and abilities you can use in combat, such as a dodge, the ability to stun enemies, and a well-timed finisher move. There are also some pretty brutal stealth kill animations.
Download here.
18.Really Textured Normal Maps
One of the simple, small Oblivion graphics mods that reworks a lot of the textures of Oblivion without affecting the performance a lot. Also, it is not as big as Qarls Texture Pack and does not drop your FPS, so if your PC cannot handle Qarls, install this texture pack.
19.Oblivion Nexus Mod Manager
A software every PC gamer should have, this mod manager allows you to search, download and install Nexus Oblivion mods with ease and it also supports a lot of other games. With it, you can install, uninstall and merge mods with ease and see the installation order.
20.A Takes All
A simple Oblivion quality of life mod, it adds the key “A” the function to loot all items in a container, just like Fallout: New Vegas. Makes looting a lot smoother and faster. Requires Oblivion Script Extender.
21.Toggleable Quantity Prompt
A similar Oblivion mod to the previous one, Quick Selling allows you to sell items one by one with CTRL + click or sell an entire stack at a time by holding down Shift key. This makes the bartering process instant and a lot less tedious.
22.Blockhead
Blockhead is an Oblivion Script Extender plugin that allows you to override the inventory menu’s idle animations, override head and body assets of NPCs and override animations of NPCs on a per-NPC/per-Race basis. It is also necessary for some other mods.
23. Wyre Bash
Wrye Bash is an awesome mod manager for The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion. What sets it apart is that when you uninstall a mod, it restores everything to the way it was so you can experiment fearlessly and it also can make more mods compatible with each other.
24.Better Cities
This mod reworks the cities in Oblivion by adding new buildings, NPCs and quests to each one of them. It also redesigns some of the parts of the cities, making them look and feel much more realistic. You can choose which cities to change or rework all of them altogether.
25. Midas Magic Spells of Aurum
One of the must-have Oblivion mods, Midas Magic Spells of Aurum adds 290 new spells to the game along with new, fun quests as a way to obtain them. It prolongs the game’s length immensely, especially for mage characters, so if you love magic, you know which mod to install.
26. Natural Environments
This beautiful Oblivion mod adds a completely new atmosphere to the game by adding more than 40 new weather conditions along seasonal weather types and also fixes some small problems related to the environment with the native game.
27. Qarls Texture Pack III
This huge Oblivion texture mod reworks every textures in the game (except clothes, armor, weapons, creatures, NPCs) and makes them look much clearer. It will affect the performance and it is rather a big mod regarding to the file size but it is worth the graphical upgrade.
28. Better Dungeons
Better Dungeons is an Oblivion mod that does what its name suggests: Makes dungeons better. It adds unique treasures and hidden areas to each dungeon by different methods, visually upgrades them and makes each one look as unique as possible.
29. FOV Modifier
You can normally change FOV that with the config file, but it causes bugs and changing it with a console command causes it to reset everytime you zoom out or talk to an NPC. This basic Oblivion mod allows you to change your FOV without all those problems.
30. Engine Bug Fixes
Another bugfix mod for Oblivion, Engine Bug Fixes resolves a lot of known problems with the Oblivion’s dated game engine and makes the game more stable. Along with the Unofficial Oblivion Patch, this is a must-have mod for everyone looking for an all around better experience.
Best Way to Mod Oblivion with Nexus Mod Manager
We listed a ton of mods, but what is the best way to mod Oblivion? There a lot of different methods but the most known is Nexus Mod Manager (NMM). Believe it or not, you actually do not need Nexus Mod Manager to do this, most mods are easily installable manually if you follow the instructions on their read.me files. If you do not want to do that, two best mod managers for Oblivion are Wyre Bash and Oblivion Mod Manager, so get those two instead of NMM.
These are 30 of the best mods available for The Elder Scrolls Oblivion on PC. There are plenty more out there, but these are just some of the best to get you started.

Best Minecraft Mods of January 2019
Mighty Ender Chicken
As the saying goes, good things come to those who wait — and lo and behold, the best Minecraft mods to open 2019 are here at last.
They’re not just good, in fact, they’re exceptional. They’re superlative. They’re (third flashy adjective to be added later because I got distracted by a pigeon outside my window).
To prove this, the first mod off the rack is a heavy hitter, the likes of which has never been seen before. You may have thought the Ender and Chaos Dragons were cause for fear, but wait until you’ve tangled with their chicken counterparts. Once these avian foes have hatched, you’ll have to use every tool in your arsenal to take them down, and tackling them solo is a fool’s errand.
Warning: you’re probably going to get buck-buck-bucked up.
Best Minecraft Mods of January 2019
Emoticons
Because Fortnite is everywhere these days, and the sooner you accept it, the better off you’ll be. One of us! One of us! Gooble gobble! Gooble gobble!
This mod will give you 38 different emotes. These custom animations will even allow your character to bend (which looks quite bizarre on a Minecraft model), making it perfect for – you guessed it – Fortnite dances. All of the kids will love you and think you’re hip, though they probably wouldn’t use the term hip. You’ll more likely be lit, on fleek, or that tears of joy emoji that gets way too much exposure these days.
…Also, the creator specially requests that this mod be correctly identified as Emoticons, thereby ruining our plans of calling it the Fortnite Dance Mod in an effort to cleverly boost our SEO. Damn you, McHorse, you’ll rue the day.
Best Minecraft Mods of January 2019
MineTraps
If you wake up muddy, and go to bed bloody, then we’ve got just the mod for you.
Using the sinister MineTraps addon, you’ll be able to protect yourself from intruders of every shape and size by surrounding yourself with a bevy of traps. Spikes? Yikes! Nail traps? They’ll never fail traps. Mines? They’re yours.
You can even channel your inner anime villain by constructing a classic pitfall prank. What you fill it with is up to you, whether you want to opt for mud or quicksand, or just straight up murder people with lava. Just make sure you’ve got an airtight alibi, you sick puppy.
Best Minecraft Mods of January 2019
Player Plates
Please note: this mod was not accompanied by a suitable logo, so we had to use creative license on our idea of what a player plate might look like. This particular player plate is very healthy, with a side of green vegetables.
Lacking imagery notwithstanding, this mod will add plates that have various types of functionality. The obsidian plate can withstand TNT, and can only be triggered by players. The mossy cobblestone plate can only be triggered by items and mobs. The SJW plate can only be triggered by inappropriate internet comments.
That last one isn’t a real thing, but shucks, I kinda wish it was. I kid, I kid.
Best Minecraft Mods of January 2019
Puddles
Puddles are lots of fun. Wheeeee!
Unless of course they are literally puddles of wee, in which case they’re best avoided.
In any event, this mod will add puddles to your Minecraft experience. They form, predictably, when it rains, and will eventually disappear once the deluge has stopped. You can use puddles to fill glass bottles, transforming them into the mighty water bottle.
If nothing else, it just looks nice, and sometimes aesthetically pleasing mods are the very best of them all.
Best Minecraft Mods of January 2019
Main Menu Scale
It’s no secret that functionality mods are the dullest to write about. However, we promise to deliver you not just the most amusing Minecraft mods, but the very best. We will reserve the right to occasionally be self-indulgent and include mods that add better oofing.
Main Menu Scale forces the main menu to have a constant gui scale. This is useful when using mods such as custom main menu, as it allows the layout to appear the same on all screens.
Not convinced? Join the literally hundreds of thousands of Minecraft players who downloaded Main Menu Scale and see for yourself. You’ll thank us later. Or more likely, you’ll only comment if you have something mean to say. Don’t worry, we know how this works.
Best Minecraft Mods of January 2019
Framland
There’s little in life quite as good for the soul as heading outside and working on the… fram? I’m sorry, what? Is this an inside joke that I’m not privy to? Just typing it actually fills me with such quivering fury, I retract the opening sentence and instead suggest that working on the fram is terrible for your soul, and even more terrible for your spellchecker, which is simply having fits at this point.
This mod provides you with a block called “Farm Drit” and “Framland” (uuuughhhh), that among other things, emits a beam of light that allows your crops to grow in the dark.
You also receive a Thunder Hoe, but be careful because if the cops find out, you’ll go straight to jail.
Best Minecraft Mods of January 2019
RetroExchange
It may sound like the hippest new store that specializes only in VHS cassettes, but RetroExchange is in actual fact a mod that adds transmutation stones as a mob drop (not to be confused with teenage mutation, which only applies to turtles of the ninja variety).
These powerful stones can be used to transmute items in a myriad of ways, and if pop culture has taught us anything, it’s that alchemy is lots of fun, completely risk-free, and to be trifled with by children at any opportunity. It’s fun for the whole family – especially deceased relatives!
Best Minecraft Mods of January 2019
Living Enchantment
If you’ve ever been enjoying your equipment – like just straight up loving it with all your gosh darn heart – and wishing that it would someday come to life, you clearly need to get out more to download this mod that vivifies your weapons, tools and armor.
Not only will this allow your gear to become stronger over time, increasing its stats in the process, but each piece will even develop its own personality.
Some items are lazy, while others are straight up demonic. Is there a personality for items suffering from the existential crisis of being a sentient sword in a fictional world? If not, you can totally add one yourself.
Best Minecraft Mods of January 2019
Advent of Ascension (Nevermine)
We always love to go out with a bang, and that’s why we usually save a particularly good Minecraft mod for last. We also try to surreptitiously kick someone every time we exit a room, but that doesn’t seem to go down quite as well.
The Advent of Ascension is every RPG enthusiast’s dream come true, absolutely cramming your game with additional content. Beautiful, vivid kingdoms to explore, hundreds of mobs and items, wild armor abilities and lovable minions to aid your quest, it’s quite simply put, one of the most spectacular Minecraft mods we’ve ever come across.
We’ll even resist the temptation to shoehorn a cheap ‘never mind’ pun into the description, that’s how stellar this mod is: it surpasses even the latent desire for stupid jokes, and that’s what keeps me alive inside. So go ahead, you spritely whip, download it now and experience Minecraft in a whole new way.
What are the best Minecraft mods? It’s a question that’s been asked for generations – since a young Plato attempted to tweak his game at the knee of Socrates. Or something. As new Minecraft mods have been steadily flowing out since the game’s first public release, there are a whole heap to choose from.
Minecraft is a blocky phenomenon. It’s the only game to ever exist that allows you to construct a castle the height of Jack’s famous beanstalk and fall through an increasingly challenging abyss for an eternity – but it could do with some Minecraft mods to improve things. From interface changes to tools to aid your hours of exploration, you have the option to make Mojang’s classic even better on PC.
The following list compiles some of the best Minecraft mods out there right now. All are divided into sections, depending on what you want to do with the game – from simple changes to deep, intricate Minecraft mods you can get lost in for months.
These are the best Minecraft mods by category:
How do I install Minecraft mods?
Every Minecraft mod on this list comes with its own installation instructions that you should follow closely, and you’ll likely also need to downgrade your Minecraft version for many of them – in most cases, version 1.7.10 works best. To help with that, you can try MultiMC– a useful bit of software that lets you manage multiple Minecraft mod installs.
Alternatively, if faffing around in obscure folders isn’t your cup of tea, then grab a modpack instead – which comes with everything preinstalled and preconfigured. We recommend either Feed The Beast’s Direwolf20 1.7.10 pack (which comes with a YouTube series that’ll teach you how to use many of the included mods), the Tekkit Pack, or making your own modpack with Curse Voice. If you have trouble with any of them Google is probably a good bet.
Shall we dig into our list of the best Minecraft mods?
Minecraft interface mods
When you’ve got lots of Minecraft mods installed you’ll probably find that Minecraft’s default UI doesn’t cut it any longer. The following downloads make playing modded Minecraft a more pleasant experience.
Optifine / Fastcraft
Got a beefy computer? Make Minecraft look incredible with Optifine, which adds support for HD textures and more control over graphical options. Alternatively, if you’re playing on a potato, grab Fastcraft– it significantly improves performance on lower-end machines, particularly with lots of Minecraft mods installed.
Journeymap
Everyone likes to know where they’re going. Journeymap maps your world as you explore, lets you mark waypoints of interest, and can even warn you when mobs are sneaking up behind you. View the resulting map in-game as a minimap, or in fullscreen, or even in an external web browser.
Not Enough Items
If you need an antidote to the pain of alt-tabbing to a wiki while playing Minecraft then turn to Not Enough Items (or NEI). It lets you look up the recipe for any item from any installed Minecraft mod through a nifty interface on Minecraft’s inventory screen.
WAILA
WAILA stands for “What Am I Looking At,” and it’s a godsend when you’ve got loads of mods installed. Simply point your crosshair at a block, and it’ll tell you what it is, and which mod it comes from. With newer mods, it can also tell you about the state of that block – how full a tank of water is, for example, or the charge level on a battery. You’ll need NEI to run it.
Inventory Tweaks
Install Inventory Tweaks and you’ll soon wonder how you lived without it. Tools that run out of durability are automatically replaced in your hotbar, stacks of blocks are automatically refilled, and a simple middle-click will sort your chests and inventory. It’s also endlessly customisable.
PLAYABLE MINECRAFT IN A CHEST
Mini Minecraft, a playable version of Minecraft shrunk down to the size of a chest. User SethBling posted a video of the mod in action on YouTube with a link to download it in the description. This mod has all the same features as the original game, except it’s you can control the whole thing through the interface of a Minecraft chest. When you leave the chest you’ll see your actions laid out in front of you as if you’d been working in 2D the whole time.
Minecraft creative mods
For many people, crafting awe-inspiring structures is what Minecraft is all about. The following mods will dramatically expand your creative options, from new types of wood to proper furniture.
Chisel 2
Minecraft only has one cobblestone texture. Chisel 2 has 24. In fact, it adds alternative textures to a huge number of the game’s default blocks as well as blocks that come with other mods in this list – letting you create any decor you desire in your in-game constructions.
Carpenter’s Blocks
Cubes are great and all, but occasionally you want a slope, right?Carpenter’s Blocks delivers those slopes, alongside beds, buttons, doors, flowerpots, torches, and more, all of which can be customised with the texture of any other block. Ever wanted a netherrack ladder? This is the mod that’ll do it.
Decocraft
If you’d like a bit more variety when it comes to decorating your world, Decocraft is the mod for you. It adds craftable chairs, tables, bowls, bottles, lamps, stuffed toys, beer kegs, and even a kitchen sink. The full list is almost endless, so dive in to the Wiki to see the full range of options.
Bibliocraft
Bibliocraft also offers a bunch of aesthetically-pleasing blocks, but these ones come with their own functionality. Display cases and shelves let you show off your trophies, while a printing press lets you copy in-game books. It even adds a monocle for the distinguished gentlemen amongst you.
Pig Manure
If Minecraft can be accused of lacking one thing, it’s poo. This humble Minecraft mod solves that problem with aplomb, not just making it so your pigs drop a steaming pile of the proverbial every now and again, but instead providing you with a new resource to master in Minecraft. Collect the droppings and you can use them instead of bone meal to fertilize your crops. Alternatively, you can fire them in a furnace and produce bricks that you can use to build a house – just don’t use them with white wool.
Bacteria Mod
Bacteria simply never goes out of fashion, so it’s about time Mincraft modders brought it into the creative sandbox. This mod lets you cultivate a range of different bacterias, each of which will perform different tasks – destructive or creative – and set them loose on the world. Just be sure to contain it properly, especially if you’re experimenting in your own base.
Pam’s HarvestCraft
Bring some serious variation to your Minecraft diet with this produce-laden mod that adds over 1,100 new foods and items, including 60 crops, 17 types of fish, tofu for vegetarian and vegan dishes, and 36 fruit or item bearing trees. The end result is a Minecraft diet that’s equal parts lavish and balanced. If you want to make this a necessity rather than just a fun extension to vanilla Minecraft, use it alongside Hunger Overhaul and The Spice of Life, which both punish your poor eating habits.
Minecraft exploration mods
Some people prefer the life of a nomad to that of a builder. The following mods either spice up world generation, add new worlds to explore, or give you the tools you’ll need to explore them. To the Far Lands, and beyond!
Biomes O’Plenty
Let’s start with the Overworld. Biomes O’Plenty adds a ridiculous 80 new biomes and 12 sub-biomes to Minecraft – from Alps to Wasteland. It also adds a little more variety to tools, armour, food, colour, and adds a few extra blocks to build with.
LotsOMobs
Working in much the same way as Biomes O Plenty, LotsOMobs adds a staggering 25 new mobs to further enrich your Minecraft world and make your biomes that bit more realistic. Gone are the days when squid were the only creature in the sea and chickens roamed free across the savannah. If you’d like giraffes, narwhal, seagulls, elephants, and even dinosaurs to appear in your game, then this is the mod for you.
CandyCraft
Here’s a great exploration mod for people who avoid the Nether on the grounds of it being just a bit too demonic and hellscapey. CandyCraft offers sweet-toothed Minecrafters a new realm to explore that’s made entirely of candy. There are sugar-coated critters to kill, marshmallow tools to equip, and honeycomb armour to wear as you make your way through this sickly sweet realm. Eat your heart out, Hansel and Gretel.
Galacticraft
Boldly go where no Steve has been before with Galacticraft, an expansive mod that let’s you travel to, explore, and even colonise an entire solar system. Aside from all the interplanetary sightseeing, the main draw of this mod is the sheer amount of effort you’ll have to put into it in order to escape Earth and its famously surly bonds. It’s a compelling and brilliantly constructed series of missions that rewards you with gameplay opportunities, like building a moonbase, pimping out your spaceship, and fighting evolved mobs on Mars.
Quiverbow
Not nearly enough mods focus on improving that most ancient and beloved of weapons – the bow and arrow. Quiverbow overhauls the options available to budding archers by providing them with a bounty of projectile-based weaponry. From basic additions like the humble crossbow to snow cannons and firework launchers, this is the ultimate mod for any aspiring Minecraft sniper.
Top 10 Minecraft Mods 2019
Minecraft automation mods
There’s nothing like a good factory setup in your Minecraft base – automatically mining and producing resources so you never run out. The following mods offer everything you need to fully automate almost every aspect of modded Minecraft, and work best in conjunction with some of the deeper mods in the final section.
Rope Bridge Mod
Chasms are a constant inconvenience for Minecraft explorers: you spend minutes jumping up the highest mountain only to find an annoying series of gaps between its peaks. Make mountaineering easier for yourself by installing this handy mod, which provides you with a portable grappling gun that will automatically build a bridge from where you’re standing to where it’s aimed. It’s also particularly useful for building tree-top fortresses.
Caterpillar
Digging is the bread and butter of Minecraft, which is why someone made this automated tunnelling machine, freeing you of the chore so you can explore, kill mobs, and meticulously redecorate your base. You’ll have to build it yourself, but once you do, you’ll be saving hours in virtual labour. The drill head is upgradable too, with different materials offering their own benefits, so there’s some scope for you to get really stuck into this miner’s delight.
Progressive Automation
This mod adds basic automated devices for everything from farming to forestry. The best bit about Progressive Automation is that each machine can be upgraded as you progress, meaning fewer enormous rebuilds further down the line.
Applied Energistics 2
After staying a while in a large base storage starts to become an issue. Applied Energistics 2 lets you turn matter into energy, storing items on hard drives that can be accessed wirelessly from anywhere in your base. It’s fantastically useful, especially for the hoarders amongst you.
Big Reactors
Ever wanted to be a nuclear engineer without learning about physics and going through multiple years of higher education? Then Big Reactors is the mod for you. Big Reactors allows you to build massive, fully configurable reactors in order to cope with the power demands of all those other industrial mods you’ve been tinkering with. Better still, it’s designed to interface with ComputerCraft, meaning you can monitor, regulate, and program your power station from a safe distance – should you tinker too much and cause a meltdown that is.
ComputerCraft and RFTools
Finally, we’d be remiss not to mention ComputerCraft. Itadds fully-programmable computers and assorted peripherals into the Minecraft world. It also adds RFTools, which lets you monitor and maintain a complex power network. Both are vital tools for any kind of automated base.
Minecraft expansive mods
That just leaves the largest mods – the ones that reward a significant time investment with substantial changes to vanilla Minecraft. We’d recommend tackling just one or two of these at a time, even if they’re bundled together in a modpack, for your sanity more than anything else. By the time you reach their endgame you’ll be the master of all you survey.
Draconic Evolution
If you’ve managed to clad yourself in diamond and long for some new endgame gear to show off to your friends then you might want to install the Draconic Evolution mod. As well as adding heaps of new high-tier weaponry and armour, Draconic Evolution also has its own energy system that’s essentially Minecraft’s answer to cold fusion. Other features include a weather manipulation system, an enormous chest with built-in crafting facilities, teleporters, and mob spawners. In short, it’s the ideal mod for anyone who’s mastered vanilla Survival mode.
Thaumcraft
Being a wizard is pretty awesome, and that’s no different in the world of Minecraft. Thaumcraft lets you manipulate the magic energies found in every in-game item to create powerful wands, golems to do your bidding, and essence-infused items and tools. It hooks beautifully into several other mods.
Simply Jetpacks
Jetpacks make everything better. Everything. That’s why this humble mod isn’t looking to burden you with countless new systems and recipes to remember, it’s just trying to give ordinary Minecrafters the gift of instantaneous flight. Soar into the skies powered by Redstone Flux, letting you avoid hazards and move around the map much quicker. Higher level jetpacks will also act as armour and even negate fall damage, so there’s plenty of reason to invest a little time into this nifty add-on.
Blood Magic
Occasionally, Minecraft is all a little too cute and fluffy. That’s where modders come in, introducing some ritualistic dark arts to give the vanilla game some edge. Blood Magic– that most heinous of all magics – introduces a few new systems and mechanics based around drawing power from the blood of mobs. Once you’ve harvested enough life essence you can use it at a Blood Altar in order to craft new items like a Dagger of Sacrifice.
Minefactory Reloaded
Arguably the best all-round technology mod is Minefactory Reloaded. It adds heaps of machines and devices that allow you to automate almost everything – from breeding cows to playing in-game records. As an added bonus, it also works particularly well with many of the mods in the previous section.

Mining by hand is a thing of the past and everyone knows it. That’s why there’s BuildCraft, a hugely expansive mod that essentially allows you to put vanilla Minecraft through its own industrial revolution. From automated quarries to autocrafting tables that will pump out any desired item with the right ingredients on tap, this mod let’s you go full scale with your production lines.
Hats
From the ridiculous to the sublime, this cosmetic mod adds over 100 hats to Minecraft, ensuring you’ve always got some way of surprising and, in some cases, shocking your friends. You’ll have to spend some time hunting the hats down, though, as they’re programmed to randomly spawn on mobs around the world – expect to see a squid with a phone booth on its head or a creeper sporting a sombrero.
PneumaticCraft
PneumaticCraft swaps out power for pressurized air making for a mod that’s both highly volatile and incredibly rewarding. Whether it’s air cannons, programmable drones, or a range of assembly machines, this mod adds a host of mechanical and automated options to Minecraft.
If those are not are the best Minecraft mods, we don’t know what are. These improvements and tweaks will transform your blocky bundle of joy and keep you playing even longer, much like the Minecraft maps that will transport you absolutely anywhere and the Minecraft servers that further keep things fresh. For now, though, we’re ready to get lost in Minecraft all over again. Ulead video studio 11 crack&serial key.
